Hi,
I'm developing a heavy QT4 application using CodeLite. I've tried CodeBlock, DevC++, etc... but I decide to use CodeLite as my IDE because it helps me alot saving times and energy to type the keyboard with it's TAGS facility. I've scanned the QT4 source code folder and generate huge TAGS file appended to the "common.tags" and it takes few minutes to load.
My problem are:
1. I have to manually create ".pro" file to feed QMAKE tools because some classes need to be "moc"-ed first.
2. Setting Custom build is very demanding tasks
Suggestions:
1. In the export makefile function, add option of makefile type so the user can choose: Linux/UNIX makefiles, QMake file (.pro), CMake file, etc.
2. Provide the comprehensive Manual/HELP documents
Bravo CodeLite!

Re: QT4-based app development
Hi,
Since QT as released its library under LGPL license, I suspect that many new developers will follow the QT path, this for me is enough to start developing an easy to use QT plugin (not to mention the fact that the company that I am working for is using QT heavily as well...) - so you can expect a QT plugin in the near future.rklang wrote:1.

Hi,
nothing else, since codelite does not know how to handle the .pro / .pri files by itself

For me, I am just creating 'custom makefile' project, and then I simply add new targets:rklang wrote:2. Setting Custom build is very demanding tasks
Code: Select all
qmake
qmake MODULE_BUILD=DEBUG
There is only single makefile generator right now: the GNU Makefile, for supporting export to another format (QMake) requires developing it - so see my first comment, a new QT plugin will be developedrklang wrote:1.
